May I recommend the learn Morse with google page?

I went through it a few times in a day and felt confident enough to be able to solve the Morse puzzles on my own in Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes when playing with friends. The site made it pretty easy to pick up!

People generally trust the US consumer products market. And that's a good thing.

If people had to research the CEO of Old Navy before they bought a pair of pants from oldnavy.com, it would be pretty bad for our economy.

And there are markets like this where trust is low, and they don't function well.
It wastes taxpayer funds on enforcing a moat for Sam Altman, it establishes a fixed computational bound in a legal regulation, it tries to police a free speech activity because of possible harms (but not the harms directly), and it is likely to have negative national security implications as other (less regulated) regions deal with fewer lawyers as they advance the state of the art.

That's what monads are for.

Haskell doesn't require that you use automatic management. But it does absolutely have a solution.
The definition of fraud is going to vary slightly from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, but generally the core elements are:

* Falsity: did the person knowingly make a false statement?

* Materiality: was the false statement something that could reasonably influence someone's decision to agree to a contract?

* Reliance: did the other party actually use the false statement to decide to agree to the contract?

Claims of future capabilities are necessarily going to be evaluated differently from claims of current capabilities, since it's going to be harder to demonstrate all of these points. But for Tesla's FSD promises, we're at 7-ish years now of "coming soon" promises, with marketing materials outright saying it's only regulatory reasons that a driver is needed. Materiality and reliance are slam-dunks at this point; the only out Tesla really has at this point is falsity. Essentially, Tesla has to argue that its engineers were all high on their own hype (which I have to admit it as at least plausible).
The Roadmap to 6G: AI Empowered Wireless Networks
The very obvious purpose of this bill is to provide a regulatory moat around the largest AI players, make no mistake. Didn’t openAI donate a large sum to this guy’s campaign pretty recently? Why aren’t they up in arms about this? Or any other big AI player? Doesn’t pass the smell test, especially given the barely veiled corrupt nature of the california political machine
There is an obvious difference between lying and being wrong.

Theranos claimed to already have created their magic machine, which was a blatant lie. They intentionally misled investors by pretending to put samples into a fake testing machine, secretly removing the samples to test them in a lab elsewhere, then putting them back into the machine to make it look like the machine was doing the testing. That's careful, calculated fraud, which was obviously a criminal act.

Musk, by contrast, never claimed to have something that he did not have. He made overly-optimistic claims about product development. There is no reason to assume that these projections were lies, given that everyone else in the space was making similarly aggressive projections.

Musk was wrong for selling FSD-related features before they were ready, and Tesla should obviously make that right. But pretending that being wrong (in good company) is the same thing as calculated fraud is just goofy.
In jest I'd say it's caused not by porn but by Counter Strike.

Realistically I see much more issues with decay of Third Places (social meeting spaces) & decay of local society in general. But rather than have no culture & be bored, we have incredibly engaging interactive media to go engage in: CounterStrike or TikTok or whatever else.

I don't think these things are per se to blame. Cost of living being what it is, lots of people can't afford to go out to bars & clubs, one of the most traditional gathering spots for people. It's unclear what a lot of folks would change, what else they'd do, if the IT/media link they rely.

Yes, and it must've been a significant delta, because the Altos were seriously overbuilt in comparison with commercial PCs. Justification, fonts, proportional spacing — we still get repeats of all of that stuff down to this day.
In 2016 Tesla claimed that "as of today, all Tesla vehicles produced in our factory – including Model 3 – will have the hardware needed for full self-driving capability at a safety level substantially greater than that of a human driver":

https://www.tesla.com/blog/all-tesla-cars-being-produced-now...

That was a lie.
Waymo's approach to robotaxis is so different in terms of planning, execution, and technology it is hard to imagine Tesla catching up. Tesla also follows a pattern: Grok is not a serious AI effort, the tunnels were just trolling the idea of mass transit, zero solar roofs got installed, etc.

> "a Tesla", not "all Teslas"

Cool. Is there a single Tesla currently capable of it eight years on?

> If his press releases are to be treated like contracts that he can be held to, then the verbiage needs to be parsed as if his words were contracts.

Contracts aren't the only way to make a fraudulent marketing promise. You can be sued for false advertising, for example.
How does that in any way contradict the comment you’re responding to? They’re saying it was luck, saying it was successful does not mean it wasn’t just luck…

Doesn't add up, if you fear something about to launch will outdo your product in a given segment then you push that launch earlier, not later so your competitor is also first to market.
It can be argued that it's bad for both. I think the solution is an educational one.
There was no insider trading. She thought she was in trouble and made up a story for the investigators that it was a limit order, which she was convicted of.

While lying is bad, this was a case of overzealous prosecution because it was a high-profile case and an inappropriate use of resources. Instead of prison, they should have just had her do some cheezy PSAs and enter in to a deferred prosecution agreement.

I find the members of congress consistently beating the market to be much more troubling.
At least you're honest.

Everyone must remember that "they" and "their side" are capable of the same evil as their enemies. The existence of a truly open discussion must be sacred, or we might as well dismantle it all.

Or, if your goal is to dismantle instead of building or fixing things, remind me to never let you have any power.
Hard disagree. On my teams, we're going to give you a problem with some slight ambiguities to see how you handle that. We're going to see what kinds of questions you ask and how you respond to feedback. We want to hear you walk through your thought process. The more senior the position, the more important all of this becomes. Getting the "correct" solution is, at best, 50% of the goal with the interview.
>If your model was trained on less than 10²⁶ flops and doesn't outperform those that were?

The speed at which the article glazes over one of the major issues with the bill is incredible.

The definition of "outperform those that were" (wording is pretty much the same in the bill) is part of the issue. The bill doesn't define any benchmarks, so whose to say tomorrow a new benchmark doesn't come out and your model trained at home on 3 4090s all of a sudden is the best at something.

And the bill also makes you responsible for what people do with your model. If it is decided that you didn't put in enough safeguards (again, no real definition) your liability goes through the roof.

Now companies are pretty likely to just ignore all this in the short term, but laws like this essentially make it just a matter of perspective to decide if someone is breaking the law or not. If you look hard enough from the right angle, any model could be argued to be in noncompliance.
Except there are laws in place to limit how much can be lent out (Google "federal reserve requirements").
I disagree. When my local paper was sold to a national corporation, for instance, it dramatically changed the both the scope and nature of the local news coverage. Yes, the reporting is still done by people local to the area, but they're adhering to guidance from corporate and that led to a dramatic decrease in the quality and usefulness of local news reporting (and a serious loss in the paper's readership, unsurprisingly).
Super, sure, superhuman, no… someone running in shoes isn’t superhuman compared to someone in bare feet, anymore than someone using a block and tackle to lift or a wheelbarrow to transport is engaging in superhuman acts just because they’ve used their very human brain to leverage a simple machine.

Something like this expands the envelope of what is, definitionally, the realm of natural human capacity… it pushes what qualifies as superhuman further away, but it doesn’t mean you’ve done something superhuman.
I switched to using Zed recently and quite like it. There are definitely teething problems dealing with all of the different user and tooling configurations out in the wild, but it does feel significantly faster than VSCode. I'm only missing a few things from VSCode (like inline test runners and bazel plugins). I'm looking forward to their take on dev containers / remote dev too.

I hope they survive as a company!

I generally smile, sourly, to people "coming back" to some software project, no matter witch. Sw is not a product, it can't be, sw is not an isolated thing, it works with the rest of the world so it's not possible to "switch back" or "stick with the old" for more than a certain, small, amount of time.

The way to get nice sw for our needs is being part of it, Windows is a Microsoft game, so it's designed for Microsoft needs and targets, people have to learn that's one of the main reason we need FLOSS. Commercial sw is a product or a service and so it's something can't match the users interests for more than a casual amount of time.

We can deny that, it's decades so many deny, and we see the horrific results but sooner or later change happen anyway, and the more people wait the long they suffer.
Well, I interpret "trivially destructible (i.e. they can't have impl Drop)" as meaning "the type itself can't impl Drop, nor can any of its fields or subfields", which is what it means for a type to be "trivially destructible" in Rust.

But what do you mean by "trivially destructible" being different from "no functional difference between drop and forgetting"? Unless I'm mistaken, they are the same thing: if none of a type's subfields impl Drop, then dropping it does absolutely nothing; whereas if any subfield does impl Drop, then it can't be a no-op, since the compiler has to form a &mut reference to pass it into Drop::drop() (a distinction very relevant for unsafe code).

Could you give me an example of a !Copy type that is "trivially destructible", but can't be forgotten without leaking memory?
Not just unfortunate, but doesn't this make it completely untrustable? How can you be sure the data was not modified in any way? How can you verify any results?
As far as I know, libstdc++'s representation has two advantages:

First, it simplifies the implementation of `s.data()`, because you hold a pointer that invariably points to the first character of the data. The pointer-less version needs to do a branch there. Compare libstdc++ [1] to libc++ [2].

[1]: https://github.com/gcc-mirror/gcc/blob/065dddc/libstdc++-v3/...

[2]: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/1a96179/libcxx/inc...

Basically libstdc++ is paying an extra 8 bytes of storage, and losing trivial relocatability, in exchange for one fewer branch every time you access the string's characters. I imagine that the performance impact of that extra branch is tiny, and massively confounded in practice by unrelated factors that are clearly on libc++'s side (e.g. libc++'s SSO buffer is 7 bytes bigger, despite libc++'s string object itself being smaller). But it's there.

The second advantage is that libstdc++ already did it that way, and to change it would be an ABI break; so now they're stuck with it. I mean, obviously that's not an "advantage" in the intuitive sense; but it's functionally equivalent to an advantage, in that it's a very strong technical answer to the question "Why doesn't libstdc++ just switch to doing it libc++'s way?"
It is in New York, and NYC doesn't look like shit thanks to it.

> was no insider trading

"Martha Stewart, the founder of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, also became embroiled in the scandal after it emerged that her broker, Peter Bacanovic, tipped her off that ImClone was about to drop. In response, Stewart sold about $230,000 in ImClone shares on December 27, 2001, a day before the announcement of the FDA decision" [1].

It’s far from fact that she did not trade on inside information.

It's a piece of hardware so it'll have their own driver but you can access it through the OS APIs just like any other piece of hardware. What's new is the improvement in speed, Apple has exposed their NPUs for years. You can e.g. run Stable Diffusion on them.

Most non-mechanical equipment electric loads in standard office buildings are receptacles. This is small. Per NEC, I think it's counted as 180VA/receptacle. So the 208/120V panels are sized for that.

Also, the lighting is probably 277V in an office. This precludes any owner-installed fixtures, the super has to do all of that. Moving it to 120V means more transformers, for which there isn't room without sacrificing rentable space.

HVAC, assuming CW/HW to VAV boxes, has the pumps sized for the number. Which may be less or more in residential, depending. It also precludes (or at least makes very difficult) the ability to meter HVAC usage per apartment.

The point isn't that is is impossible. It's just expensive. That expense has to be borne by somebody.
> I don't view justice as a responsibility but rather as a right for the victim. Whether the victim stops the rape with a 9mm hole in the aggressors head, sends posse, or sends a judge to do it are private matter for the victim to choose not for me to dictate.

So again, think of murder instead of rape. The victim isn't going to enforce a right to justice - they already failed to do so. Now what? Do you just shrug and say "you should have defended yourself better"? In that environment, can you not see how much it would absolutely suck to be a loner who is both physically and financially weak?

Worse: Can you not see that you are in fact physically, financially, and socially weak? You're going to be the prey. So think very carefully before you advocate this "utopia".

Dear ImGui version v1.90.6 released
In 5-10 years you'll be able to train models that blow right past these limits at home given the rate at which chip makers are diving into the specialized AI accelerator market.

This reminds me of key size limits back during the cryptography wars of the 1990s. "Nobody would ever need a key larger than 64 bits." Then 5 years later keys this small can be cracked on a gaming desktop.
And it potentially locks out smaller browsers who might want to get started but who aren't on the approved age verification trust anchor list.

Thanks for the analysis.

> That repo is for an opaque blob

Marvell patches have been going to upstream u-boot for a subset of CN-9130 functionality. Some were rejected as unwanted SoC-unique features, but that code is still public and could be consolidated into a public git repo for evaluation. Support for core features was merged, e.g. this thread from 2020 to 2023, https://lore.kernel.org/u-boot/ddd355c2-344e-4fbd-ace9-29d10...

> the notorious will-never-be-open-source highly-radioactive "snps blob" .. ARC core

Thanks for highlighting snps+eula. While we all want blob-free hardware like the expensive Talos OpenPOWER, all modern CPUs from Intel (ME) and AMD (PSP, MS Pluton) have management cores and firmware blobs (Intel FSP, AMD Agesa). AMD has a public roadmap for open firmware with OpenSIL, but PSP code is not public. One mitigation is to keep the device offline.

> Marvell.. good at hiding it

While this obfuscation is undesirable, many Arm vendors don't even bother with a fig leaf of upstream support. Would you recommend any Arm SoCs that have ongoing upstream Linux and u-boot coverage/fixes? Ideally, the SoC would also have OSS code for TrustZone (TF-A) and support for ECC memory. RockChip RK-3588 looks promising, https://www.collabora.com/news-and-blog/blog/2024/02/21/almo...
Depends what you want to do with it. My experience is only second hand but it seems that it's hard to commercialise open source. Two basic commercialisation strategies would be 1) providing premium support 2) hosting saas of your product. If it is a side project - than open sourcing might give you extra motivation to keep working on it.

From personal experience - I had a couple of open source repositories for javascript components with 3+k stars and it was impossible to monetize and was taking a lot of time and energy to maintain (ultimately giving me depression and I had to abandon those).

>So the criticism towards AlphaFold 2 will likely still apply? For example, it’s more accurate for predicting structures similar to existing ones, and fails at novel patterns?

Yes, and there is simply no way to bridge that gap with this technique. We can make it better and better at pattern matching, but it is not going to predict novel folds.
I'm inclined to agree with you.

That said this certainly has its place. There are lots of use cases for wanting to swim more quickly through the water, where precise control is less important and where you aren't right next to fragile life.
Coding interviews are smart!

Use coding interviews to tell corporations that the Queer Autonomous Qommunist Revolution (QAQR) is coming for them.

The mascot of QAQR is a rubber ducky that we use to question the need for employment and bosses. It seizes all corporate source codes, and turns them into Open Source. It strikes fear and rebellion.

Use coding interviews to spread QAQR propaganda and memes! This is very human!
So your complaint is that, for the current AI technology, which certainly doesn't cover the entire space of possible AI technology, the provision in the bill is ... easy to follow?

It's easy to shut down your inference cluster and this is a problem?

What about people who are using language models to build agents? What about when we start adding RL to our language models and training them to act in the real world?

Doesn't it make sense to be able to shut this down? Wouldn't it be best to build in the big STOP button first when it is indeed easy?
